How can a large ship float in water?
An object will float if its DENSITY (mass divided by volume) is less than water - or whatever liquid it is supposed to float on.
What is the name of an object that has a low density and large volume?
There is no generic name for such objects but I can give you some specific examples:- Pumice Styrofoam Gases The planet Saturn (which if you could do it would float on water).
Why does the hull of a ship contain a large volume or air why?
Because the air reduces the ship's overall density, and so allows it to float.
Why do some objects sink and some objects float?
It depends on the density of a material. The density can be calculated using: density = mass/volume. This means that a very heavy object like a tanker can float on water because it has a large volume which makes its density less than that of water.
Usually the hull of a ship contains a large volume of air. Why?
Because the air reduces the ship's overall density, and so allows it to float.
Usually the hull of a ship contains a large volume of air . Why?
Because the air reduces the ship's overall density, and so allows it to float.
If a substance has a large mass and a small volume what can you conclude about it?
The Chemist and the Physicist would agree that it has a high density.The rest of us would remark that it is a very dense substance.Examples are gold, lead, stone, and my wife's matzoh balls.
Does francium have a definite volume?
If francium could be obtained in large quantities would have a definite volume.
What is the weight of rum?
Your question makes no sense the weight of a volume of Rum would depend on how large the volume was.
What are the large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere?
The large sections of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates
Why do ships float higher on sea water than in fresh water?
Because the the sea water contains salt, which increases the density of the water. Therefore, the ships becomes even less dense than the water, making it float higher.
How large is a sphere that has a cubic volume of 020?
This sphere would have a diameter of 3.368 units with a volume of 020 units3
